We are often told that the tariff lowerA
priees. Was il mt the tariff that changed the
price Of steel rails from 225 ton in 1885 to
$40 ton in 1887? The tariff is Sl7 ton,
and in the fall of 1885 the manufacturers met,
formed combination to prevent competition,
and yesqlved to put up the price. The lawful
result is an adFaqce to the full extent of the
tariff bounty yoled them. For year and a
half, supported as they are by lag, they hare
had eoFner on the home market just as in.
famous as and mofe expensive than that of
the coffee spectators. The advantage of the
steel rail gamblers is that they have the Coy
eminent back of them sustaining them. But
for this they would soon go tho way of all ex-
tortioners and be compelled to furnish their
products OF fair prices. At S25 ton they
could make profit; at $40 they became mil
ionaires in a short time, and as they thus be-
come richer the mass of the people who make
them so out of their honest earnings necessa-
rily become poorer. The tariff simply aids
them 10 transferring the cash Of tho Rsqy to
their own pockets,

Albert Turner, the ceioped murderer of
Jennie Bowman, was hanged in Louisville,
Ky, yesterday friday. Tuesday was his
reception day, and he hung a newspaper over
his cell door, refusing to see any one unless
he was paid five cents for look of fifteen
seconds A number of his friends came in,
but he charged nickel and discharged them
with a grant and an occasional go long,
An old man who had known MIN as q boy
came in and wept over him, but Turner said
he was very busy and tbs old man would have
to call again. By the sale Of his photographs
and By his charges to visitors he collected
over $50, aud ordered coffin with elegant
trimmings, and msdo al the arrangements for
fine parade.
A thrilling story comes from Nashville Of
the discovery, in a cave near Cookville, Ten.
nessee, of about sixty skeletons Of murdered
men. The skull bones bore evidence of hay-
ing been pierced by bullets or crushed by
axes or other instruments. The cave is near
stopping place on the old Kentucky stock
road" which many years ago was the princi-
pal highway for traders between Kentucky
and Georgia or South Carolina. Another
cave, about twenty miles from Cookville, near
another Of the old inns, is to be explored.

races and an ocean sweepstakes In 1867

run as the Dauntless was trial trip from
New York to Queenstown. She crossed in
twelve DAYS, seventeen hours and six min

cabled back put all the flags on the City
Hail at full mast. Only one yacht has
broken this record, the Sappho crossing
only one month later in y days,9 hours
and SO minutes. While abroad that year
the Dauntless entered the Channel race
for yachts of ali nations, from Cheroourg
around the Fab light and back, for a cup
worth $500 francs, given by the Emperor
OF France through the Societe des Re-
gates de Cherbourg. Soon after starting
she carried away her fore-topmast, but
finished third among ak yachts.
In 1870 the Dauutless and the Cambria

Cambria won, the Dauntiess finishing IN

how this was not done until lately; per-
haps then only because people began 10
tear theE coats on the nails, and their
impromptu remarks on the subject tend
ed to complicate matters.
1t was alter double-barrel explosion
OF this kind the other day that the pro-
prietor told his bartender TO cut the cover
of the table aud make kindling wood OF
the cussed thing. The bartender whipped
out his knife and began to carve the
blanket. He had just made one savage
slash and HAD started second whom bis
knife struck against something metallic.
He then ripped The cover Oh and found a
steel plate niue inches long aud six
inches wide, which was set Hush into
the table. The plate was about a
foot from the edge, and pierced with
what IT was Tor, and an OLD tOwnsman
rsmem bered that the table had been
brought there from Virginia City years
ago, and presumed it was used In the
early days to play some kind OF cribbaxe.
When the table began to be be chopped

ce8led on little shelf by one of.the legs,
were small battery, coils OF wire and

with one OF the tin plates. These were
covered with rust and dust.
Then the Old tOwnsman woke up and
remembered seeing in days gone by a
man named Pick Davis win $1,000 1T dice
on that very table from a cattle man In
about fifteen secoDde, besides picking up
sumo " thousands and hundreds at other
times from those who were gamblingly
inclined. Two drinks also caused the old
townsman 10 suddenly recollect that
DAVIS came down 10 Mussel Slough

ton as "dip chucker," and the boys
came In from far and near 10 buck MIN.
